Application filed August 17, 1921. Serial No. 492,903.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ALFRED B. LEWIS and W ILLIAM J. TAGGART, citizens of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsyh Vania, have invented certain Improvements in Spigots, of which the following is a specificatio Our invention relates to a type of spigot, in which the handle is given a lateral turn to open or close the spigot.

One object of the invention is to simplify the construction of a spigot of this type and to protect the joint between the fixed and movable parts.

A further object of the invention isto provide a flange with astop to limit the movement of the nozzle.

A still further object of the invention I is to design the spigot so that the parts can be readily assembled.

These objects we attain in the following manner, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which;

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of our improved spigot;

Fig. 2 is a sectional viewshowing the spigot in the closed position;

Fig. 3 is a View similar to Fig. 2, showing the spigot in the open position;

Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view on the line 47 1, Fig. 2;

Fig. 5 is a detached perspective view of the valve; and

Fig. 6 is a sectional View of the handle.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the body of the spigot shaped as shown in Fig. 1 and having a screw threaded portion 2 and a flange 3. The body of the spigot has a cylindrical section 5 at the opposite end from the screw thread and projecting from the body portion directly above the cylindriv cal section 5 is a wide flange 6. Within the cylindrical portion is a web 7 having a central passage 8. 9 is an internal screw thread with which engages the thread 10 surrounding the passage 8 in the web 7. The

one end of a slot or recess 24 and an abutment 25 at the opposite end of the slot.

By this construction, it will be seen that we are able to make a very simple spigot,

which can be easily operated and one in which the nozzle and the valve can be easily detached for repairs.

By making the body portion with an extended flange, which projects over the no-zzle section and the ring, the. parts are thoroughly protected from any foreign matter entering the space between the nozzle and the body portion.

The valve carrier 11 is secured to the cross ban 13 of the nozzle 14, consequently, on turning the nozzle in one direction, the valve is withdrawn from its seat and, when turned in the. opposite direction, it is forced against its seat. The stop pin 22 limits the movement of the nozzle and prevents the valve carrier being disengaged from thecylindrical section of the nozzle. By adj ust- .ing the nozzle in the-- handled ring, the valve can be taken up for wear.

We claim: a The combination in a spigot, of a body portion having a'depending cylindrical section in which there is a valve seat, said section being smooth on the outside and threaded on the inside; a nozzle section extending over the cylindrical section; a valve carried by the nozzle section and having a screw thread adapted to the thread of the cylindrical section; a ring secured to the upper portion of the nozzle and having an operating handle,-said ring being recessed to form stops; and a flange on the body portion extending over the upper end of the nozzle and the ring and having a depending pin extending into the recess of the ring to limit the movement of the nozzle.
